NE146 Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 Space Invaders by "Uncle Vic" is the 70's song you're probably thinking about. It's about.. yes just what you think, the arcade game Space Invaders I have the mp3 somewhere here as well. @cimerians: no problem. It will have to be later tonight however as I'm heading out, I'll msg you later. I'll also try and find the Uncle Vic -Space Invaders.mp3 song as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NE146 Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 Here ya go I actually used to have the 45 rpm record of this song as my dad broght it home from a trip back in the 70's for me. But it's long been lost. Anyway, enjoy Uncle Vic - "Space Invaders" THE SONG.mp3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xmetalhedx Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 You guys should check out System of a Down doing the Zelda theme, and I believe that Mr. Bungle did the Mario theme but I haven't heard that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.Yancey Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 I have the 45 version of Space Invaders by Uncle Vic. I played it so much that I even remember the song on the flip side. It was called Ode to Slim. I never got Do the Donkey Kong, but I did have Pac Man Fever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gulag picture radio Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 Somewhere I have a Buckner & Garcia knockoff album. Someone tried to do the same kind of thing... create hit songs with videogames as their backbone. If you think that the concept runs a bit dry on the B&G album, it's a bone by the time it reached this record! I don't have in front of me, so I can't recall the title. I've also got a Pac-Man Christmas story record. The character designs are close to the look of the Pac family in the Saturday morning cartoon, so I've got to think that this LP had to come out around then. I can't believe that I'm admitting this, but I occsionally have been caught whistling or singing the little song that advertised Pac-Man breakfast cereal. It was a Lucky Charms type cereal, and I loved it (along with Cracker Jack cereal... which I still miss bitterly...). The song was one of the last that I remember that tried to half-heartedly institute a "dance craze". They showed kids doing the "Pac-Man" in appropriately 80's clothes (it was the 80's after all...). Hmm. I should poke around to find that ad and learn how to play the song on keyboard or something... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
